|As High As A Kite

I was sitting on the beach the other day watching a kite flying high in the sky. It made wonderful acrobatic maneuvers^{1 as if piloted by a person with a lifetimes experience of flying. However, we all know a kite cannot fly without the power of the wind. So how real was the performance I was watching?}

Firstly, it took a person with great imagination to design a kite shaped like a tiger moth^{2 aircraft that can encompass3 the aerodynamics to be powered by the wind. That accomplishment4 in itself takes great skill and awareness5 of the forces of nature.}

Secondly^{6, the person who purchased the kite needs to read the instructions and learn how to apply the winds forces to achieve a great display. The mind and hand coordination7 requires a mastery to attain8 the required skills.}

Thirdly, without the power of the wind, the kite would just be a charming, colorful, textured^{9 replica10 of a Tiger Moth aircraft. We cannot see the wind....but we know it must exist, for we can feel it and see the consequences of its power.}

So, we have a relationship between the designer and manufacturer which ultimately will connect to the user. It then needs a power of nature that cannot be seen in order to allow the kite to operate. The display I was observing had a lot of behind the scenes work that needed to be performed, before the show could go on.
